More trouble at Goldman Sachs building

The city has stopped construction on an office tower near ground zero after a chunk of steel fell 18 stories onto a ball field where children were playing on Saturday afternoon.

The Department of Buildings said no one was hurt in the accident at 200 Murray Street, where the Goldman Sachs headquarters is under construction. The builder, Tishman Construction, was cited with five violations.

The acting buildings commissioner, Robert D. LiMandri, called the accident “unacceptable.” Tishman had no comment.

"The difference between dishonest and honest graft: for dishonest graft one worked solely for one's own interests, while for honest graft one pursued the interests of one's party, one's state, and one's personal interests all together." - George Washington Plunkitt
